ALTMAN (Pandora, The Librarians, Agent X) and DAREN DOCHTERMAN (Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Director's Edition) bring you another episode examining the continuing relevance of STAR TREK as a source of political and social allegory as they finally go full McLAUGHLIN GROUP as they bring aboard a liberal commentator JONATHAN LARSEN (managing editor, The Young Turks, formerly producer of MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" and "Up With Chris Hayes") and conservative DENES HOUSE (Christian pastor, Fleet Chaplain and cousin of the Bush family) to parse the politics of STAR TREK in what will hopefully prove to be an episode that inspires much enlightened discourse about a franchise we can agree that we all love.

Season 2 Episode 3 THE NIGHTCRAWLER This episode is about one of our favorite fringe cryptids… the Nightcrawler! (Continued shameless plug) ALSO, as of RIGHT NOW, you can watch me and Bill Brock’s documentary, Abducted New England on Amazon Prime. And my book Otherworldly Encounters, is available wherever books are sold. Links are below! Alright... let's do it! The story goes that a man and his family suddenly began hearing their dogs bark at night but upon investigating as to what had gotten them so excited, the man found nothing out of the ordinary. This went on nightly, so he decided to mount a closed-circuit security camera on top of his garage that overlooked his front lawn. One night when the dogs went wild again, he came outside and saw nothing, so he decided to check the security camera footage. He caught something quite odd. So what did it look like? Well... the best way I think I can describe it is as one of those old school clothespins. Not the ones we have now with the metal piece in the middle, but the old ones that were all wood. It's a notched piece of wood with a rounded head on top. It would kind of look like a pair of legs, with the crotch sitting just under the head. I know, sounds crazy, so make sure to check the footage and pictures. So what is it? No friggin' clue. Listen to the episode and you decide.

One is called Paranormal Parasites by Nick Redfern and the other is Souls on Earth by Dr. Linda Backman. From Llewellyn.com - Nick Redfern is the author of more than thirty books on UFOs, Bigfoot, and cryptozoology, including Nessie, Shapeshifters, and Chupacabra Road Trip. He has appeared on more than seventy television shows, including the SyFy Channel's Proof Positive, the History Channel's Ancient Aliens, and MSNBC's Countdown with Keith Olbermann. Visit him online at www.NickRedfernFortean.Blogspot.com – Now, about the book… he covers the gamut here in regards to paranormal entities and the like that can suck all the good fortune and cause misfortune to anyone who comes into contact with them. This includes the BEKs, tulpas, shadow people, the MIB and on and on… Nick discusses encounter after encounter and shares insights into why these entities might be hunting us. I do want to let the book speak for itself, but know, this is a haunting read and highly recommended. Souls on Earth presents a critical understanding and a fascinating twist on the “reincarnation” phenomena. Backman writes about reincarnated souls from different planets. And that those souls come to earth to help us, similar to the contactee movement, where experiencers talk about how loving their alien cohorts are. Anyways, incredible stories abound in this book, I definitely recommend it.
Are significant numbers of humanity the product of an ancient and advanced alien civilization? Have we, across the millennia, been periodically modified and refined as a species? In short, has our genetic make-up been manipulated by otherworldly beings that view human civilization as one big lab experiment?These are controversial and thought-provoking questions. They are also questions that demand answers, answers that may very well be found by examining those people whose blood type is Rh negative. The vast majority of humankind—85 to 90 percent—is Rh positive, which means a person’s red blood cells contain an antigen directly connected to the Rhesus monkey. This antigen is known as the Rh factor.Each and every primate on the planet has this antigen, except for one: the remaining 10 to 15 percent of humans. If the theory of evolution is valid—that each and every one of us is descended from ancient primates—shouldn’t we all be Rh positive? Yes, we should. But we’re not. The Negatives are unlike the rest of us. They are different.They are the unique individuals whose bloodline may have nothing less than extraterrestrial origins.Nick Redfern is an author, lecturer, and journalist who writes about a wide range of unsolved mysteries.His previous books include Close Encounters of the Fatal Kind; For Nobody's Eyes Only; The World's Weirdest Places; The Pyramids and the Pentagon; The Real Men in Black; The NASA Conspiracies; and Contactees. Redfern has appeared on numerous television shows and networks, including Fox News; The History Channel's Ancient Aliens, Monster Quest, and UFO Hunters; VH1's Legend Hunters; National Geographic Channel's The Truth About UFOs and Paranatural; BBC's Out of this World; MSNBC's Countdown; and SyFy Channel's Proof Positive.
